March bus

Just thought I'd start a March bus for anyone just edging into the next month for testing/AF due!

I'll start with my stats:

Trying for baby #2 with a 2.5yo DD
Cycle 2 (although first full cycle after having the implant removed)
CD1 today
AF/BFP due sometime after 5th March depending on what my cycle wants to do this month!

@whatsthecraic91 mine starts that day too! We are away 7th- 9th too so that'll hopefully take the pressure off.

whatsthecraic91 · 28/02/2020 18:40

@Posharmchairs I'm only CD3 today so FW doesn't begin to 6th March!

Newbie0818 · 28/02/2020 16:43

Me too @Adrianoska ! Tbh though I just have a feeling I’m not :( I track my cervix, and yesterday it was very high but it’s dropped lower again which isn’t a good sign :/

I hope you get your bfp!

Adrianoska · 28/02/2020 16:36

@Newbie0818 I can't wait to see if you scored or not...
Yeah now I am worried we overdid it? Hahaha. This month I will try to relax a bit... Although I can't promise anything hahaha!
Xx

Newbie0818 · 28/02/2020 16:02

@Adrianoska we’ve been doing it every other day or every 3 days when I’m not fertile, but during that week it was every night. Hubby loved it 😂 they say at least 3 times per week as it gives sperm time to regenerate fully, but billions are created every day anyway. It’s all luck of the draw and timing I think! I’m only 7dpo so I suppose I’ll find out soon if the more is better method works.

paintfairy · 28/02/2020 15:47

@posharmchairs I'm sure mine normally comes on quicker. Lol. Having said that- was overnight the last twice. I had a bit of red blood this morning. But mild cramps and back ache. Had it on and off all day but I think it's getting worse now so maybe it'll get on with it. Suppose waiting until work is over is useful! I've been taking painkillers all day, ready. 🤣

Posharmchairs · 28/02/2020 15:39

Thank you @whatsthecraic91, when is your next window or are you already po?

@paintfairy I get it, darker patch in cm and all other af symptoms but it hasn’t arrived yet. Hate this part!

paintfairy · 28/02/2020 14:54

My AF seems to not be here. Never usually comes on this slowly. Bloody bonkers. Rather it just got on with it. Worrying now the herbs etc I've been taking have messed with it. Temp was only 36.50 so it must be imminent. Ffs.

paintfairy · 28/02/2020 14:44

I did every day and it didn't work. So I think it needs to be more relaxed for us. We are away at the beginning of my next FW though so that might help.

whatsthecraic91 · 28/02/2020 14:31

@Posharmchairs sorry to see you here! Hopefully AF doesn't arrive 🤞🏼

@paintfairy yea & he said not to try and pin point ovulation! I'm still gonna temp tho 😊 my scan was all good so I'm hoping that info will make me more relaxed too 😊

Adrianoska · 28/02/2020 14:14

Oh this is crazy, right?
With my both previous pregnancies I didn't test positive until 14 or 15 dpo.
Does not stop me from testing 9dpo each month this time hahaha!

Last 3 months my husband and I had sex pretty much every night especially around the fertilie period. Perhaps that's too much? What do you girls think? Maybe we really ought to stick to every other day? I always feel like the more the better but I am still not pregnant... 🤔

What's your thoughts? From my research I concluded that having sex every day actually gives you slightly better chances to conceive than every other day. But some people say it is better to wait. Can we sort this out please? 😌

@karenkeys I tested at 10dpo which was BFN then tested again and got my BFP at 12dpo Smile

@littletandme I’m testing this weekend at 10 DPO - join me! Actually you have been pregnant before... do you remember how many DPO you got a positive result back then?

Posharmchairs · 28/02/2020 12:54

Hi @paintfairy, sorry to see you on this bus.

I’m still hanging on but with severe pms, and af due imminently.
14dpo today. Going to see if I get to Sunday or if af beats me to it.

Boobs are so sore it’s almost breastfeeding territory of pain, but I know I’m probably being over sensitive because I want that to be a good sign.

Newbie0818 · 28/02/2020 12:43

I’m also having cramps and tender boobs @Franklydear and am worried too :( hopefully we’ll be lucky 🤞🏼

The cm situation is so ridiculous I’ve resorted to wearing pads now 🙈 never had so much before. Weird hormones.

littletandme · 28/02/2020 12:42

@paintfairy eeek so I could be 9dpo then?! Wonder if I should test this weekend!

OP posts:
paintfairy · 28/02/2020 12:32

@whatsthecraic91 Agree. We did it too much. No need I'm sure. I think my body won't hang onto an egg anyway. So killing myself getting it fertilised is madness. I haven't sleep since the week of DTD to a ridiculous degree. First time last night I slept (and oddly we did it then, but because we wanted to. Lol). So I now can't sleep apparently without DTD. 😂

@littletandme They do say to go from the first surge and not subsequent? Assuming the OPK was really high. You only know when AF arrives really though, what happened.

Franklydear · 28/02/2020 12:27

I started having symptoms, boobs a bit sore, a bit of cramps and some lower back pain, af due on the 6, so started to get paranoid that that's what it is😓

whatsthecraic91 · 28/02/2020 12:27

@paintfairy sorry AF is here!!

CD3 for me so hopefully AF will be gone by Sunday so we can get back to it! Trying to relax this month, I have took to decorating so doing my bedroom this weekend 😊 also going to try and just DTD 3 times a week every week as that's what my doctor said on Wednesday when I went for my scan - he said I need to chill out 🤣

littletandme · 28/02/2020 11:48

@paintfairy yep my OPKs were positive on CD13 and even stronger on CD14 which is why I think CD13 is too early, I think I probably ovulated either late CD14 or 15, which would make me about 7dpo.

Boobs feel noticeably sore today!

OP posts:
Lola871 · 28/02/2020 09:19

2dpo today, I feel like this cycle has been long already, which is silly because it's actually the shortest one I've had for ages 🤣

Not sure why I'm feeling so impatient this month, I'm generally quite tired and getting towards needing a break so that might be it, got a week off in four weeks so something to look forward to!

paintfairy · 28/02/2020 08:51

@littletandme its usually right for me. Are you using OPKs?

I was unsure this month as my temps were all over. OPK was high on the wed morning so I thought I would ovulate Thursday. But then I felt crampy wed night, so I thought it was then. However got spotting on the sun and not at ovulation (usually do) so was confused. But FF said it happened wed and that would be correct if AF came today. And its already starting!

So I'll remain on the March bus.

littletandme · 28/02/2020 08:36

@paintfairy I'm using FF too because I used it last time with DD, but that is predicting ov a little too early I think! One too early and one too late! 🤦🏻‍♀️

@littletandme Fertility Friend has the best charts I find. Doesn't tend to change anything about. And no- I've known since Monday it's a no go. Rubbish.
